Default Random studder at idle.

Every once in a while while the engine is idling, usually cold. The engine shudders for a moment, kind of like a random misfire. No CEL on, I'm thinking plugs and wires might be the culprit, I know the serp belt needs to be replaced too since it squeaks when it's cold idling. Any thoughts?

If the plugs and wires are old...
That's why it's called preventative maintenance. Maintain it to help prevent a problem.
